Bill > S02245

This bill requires the Triborough Bridge Authority (also known as MTA Bridges and Tunnels) to establish a cashless tolling amnesty program and mandates the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to publish their fee waiver policy on their website. Specifically, the bill creates a six-month amnesty program allowing individuals, businesses, and other entities to pay outstanding cashless toll fees in full and have associated violation fees waived. Additionally, for the first 180 days after the bill's enactment, the bill caps toll violation fees at twice the original toll amount for the first 90 days, and then at three times the original toll amount for the subsequent 90 days. The bill also requires the MTA to prominently display its current fee waiver policy on its website, enhancing transparency for users. The provisions related to the toll violation fees will automatically expire 180 days after the bill takes effect, though any rights or remedies established during that period will remain valid. This bill aims to provide relief to toll users and increase transparency in the MTA's fee policies.
